Development of a Web-Based 3D Visualization Tool That Can Be Used in Geoscience Studies

3D modelling is the process of creating and representing three-dimensional geometric models of objects. These models enable real-world objects to be transferred to the digital environment. 3D modelling is used in many fields such as architecture, engineering, game development, animation, film production, product design, data visualization and virtual reality. Data visualization makes data more natural for the human mind to understand and thus facilitates the identification of trends, patterns, and outliers within data sets. Therefore, it has a critical importance in the management and interpretation of data. 3D visualization studies are a necessary 3D presentation tool for the project design processes as well as the sales and marketing phase. The aim of this study is to develop an interactive web application to model and visualize the discontinuity network of a natural stone quarry in 3D using WebGL technology. The study includes technical developments in web- based 3D modelling, data visualization, interactive user interface, and data integration. Additionally, topics such as how to use WebGl technology for quarry modelling, data management, simulation techniques and user experience optimization are also focused on.
